EDIT: Just crossed 26000!
Almost! At the time of this post, lemmy.world has a whopping 25733 users and is growing fast.
Since my last post yesterday, it has added 4000 new users, making it the clear second-largest lemmy instance out there. Also quickly catching up to lemmy.ml's 36000 (not taking new signups).
beehaw.org (3rd largest) sits at 12500 users, partly because of more restrictive registration requirements.

Exciting to see all this growth!
I think Lemmy.world is the new meta right now. All Reddit refugees overflow this instance as this is the most generic one and by looking and the number of communities itโs the smarter choice.
I just hope that the influx of users wonโt cause too many server issues. I can already imagine what the devs feel like to have so many active users without mentally and technologically preparing for it
Hello from kbin.social. Isnโt federation and diversity great?!
It is! Hello fellow kbinian!
Any idea how many users we have?
